The Royal Livingstone is a serene and gracious refuge from the heat of the African sun. The 173 luxurious rooms and suites with their comfortable furnishings are tastefully decorated in the soft earth tones of the bushveld, with spreading views of the river and the Acacia forest. Guests may pass lazy days on the magnificent sundeck overlooking the Zambezi River as it flows relentlessly to The Falls, and enjoy fine dining in the restaurant, or on the long verandah overlooking the gardens. In the warm smile of your personal butler, or the simple luxury of your cane chair, you will find an Africa that has all but vanished.
The Royal Livingstone is a Sun International hotel. That means you can expect nothing less than the highest level of service and enjoy a myriad of superior activities. In everything we do we aim to exceed your expectations, allowing you to escape into the romance and luxury of your journey.
Translated – The Smoke that Thunders – is the local name for the Victoria Falls. The world-famous cascade of water provides the baseline for your journey into colonial sophistication. Its fine spray may be seen like a cloud across the bushveld, throwing rainbows hundreds of feet in the air. On the forested banks of the great Zambezi River, upstream of the mighty cataract where it thunders into the Batoka Gorge, is The Royal Livingstone. In its cool lounges and shaded verandas, you will encounter the elegance and luxury of an earlier, more courteous age.

While Niagra Falls has a wider span; on a grand scale, Victoria Falls is more mind blowing, the water falls into a much deeper gauge. It's impossible for you to see the bottom of the gauge unless it is during Nov/Dec when the river dries out. During that period, I was told it is an amazing experience to swim in the devil's pool on Livingstone Island, a natural rock pool right on the edge of the fall!
If the water level is low, you get a better view on the Zimbabwe side, however if there're sufficient water flow, easier to take better pictures on Zambia side. The best view of the fall is when you get double rainbows! Happens on almost any sunny days, it's absolutely stunning!
The overall best experience of Vic Falls would have to be helicopter tour or Microlight flights which I experienced, it has an open cockpit for the ultimate adrenaline ride and best aerial view of the fall, Zambezi River; and down stream over the Batoka Gorge or upstream over the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park providing an excellent game spotting opportunity, various wildlife in the park or river..
I rested at Royal Livingstone, the best 5 star hotel on Zambia side, river front, right before the falls, with unlimited access to the falls entrance. It's also part of a national park, wildlife on premises I saw included zebras, giraffes, baboons, and sometimes elephants may float along the river bank in front of the property! Don't forget to experience The Royal Livingstone Express - a unique dining experience on train through local villages and the national park. And for those wanting to soak up the serenity, a waterfront spa treatment should not to be missed!
I would recommend a min. of 3 nights there to get a full experience!
